Ontario la a pittance and doesn't address more serious problems afflicting northern farmers opposition critics said Monday Both Liberal and New Democratic agriculture spokesmen said Ontario should spend more money to develop markets for northern farmers instead of providing incentives to bring additional acreage into production A major problem hurting the 4200 northern fanners about four per cent of the provincial total is the heavy transportation costs to ship their produce to southern markets they said The five-year program available to farmers producing crops worth more than $10000 a year provides money for land clearing and drainage new technology demonstrations ana to develop forage production Money also will go to tuna studies on how to develop more markets for northern-produced farm goods In a joint statement Monday Agriculture Minister Dennis Timbrell and Northern Affairs Minister Leo Bernier said the program will enhance the natural advantage in producing forage and cereal grains It will also support livestock farming and help fill focal demand with local produce wherever possible NDP agriculture critic Mel Swart and his Liberal counterpart Jack Riddell called the funding a pittance and complained that the available money is being spent in the wrong places going to open up more land primarily which is not what's required at this Swart said noting that many northern farmers are operating in the red because of the Board forms committees The Nipissing Board of Education has adopted the attitude that some committees are better formed late than never For three years a committee studied the problems of business and technical education in Nipissing and finally in June of 1981 it presented its final report to the board At that time two resolutions relating to the establishment of advisory committees were adopted by the board but never implemented because the ministry of education was in the process of completing a major review of the status of secondary education in Ontario The review became a reality with TORONTO (CP) There might not be any legal basis for a claim of privilege between a minister and a parishioner an Ontario

Toronto schoolyard last November has been sentenced to two years less a day in a reformatory and ordered deported to Jamaica after his term In passing sentence last week county court Judge Hugh Locke said Michael Adams was spared a long penitentiary term because a doctor said he would probably not survive the system because of epilepsy and a low mental capacity is unfortunate that the Canadian penitentiary system does not adequately provide the obvious need in some cases (for) the medical needs of inmates" said Locke who added that taxpayers pay $40000 a year for each penitentiary prisoner and are already overburdened only way I can protect the Canadian public is to have him deported He is a danger to the Canadian public and from what read he will be a continuing danger" Court was told at about the time of the Nov 11 stabbing Adams was on bail awaiting trial for attacking someone with a meal cleaver He was convicted and sentenced to four months for the offence Locke said Adams who has a Grade 4 education came to Canada in 1983 on a student visa and enrolled in Grade 7 in September He said the teenager attended school sporadically before quitting His parents are trying to get him status as a landed immigrant Evidence showed Adams was being teased at school by fellow Jamaicans about his clothes and recent arrival in Canada He pulled a knife during one such verbal assault and stabbed an 18-year-old man just above the heart the Crown said The- man was in hospital for a couple of weeks with a collapsed lung A jury found Adams guilty of aggravated assault and of assaulting his arresting officer Locke imposed the maximum reformatory sentence of two years less one day but asked that Adams be deported as soon as possible the intersection of McIntyre St and

implementation of Ontario Schools: Intermediate and Senior Divisions (OSIS) and in March of this year it was recommended that an interim committee study the three-year-old report to determine the appropriateness of the recommendations However Monday night it was decided that both a three-year ad hoc technical advisory committee and a three-year ad hoc business education advisory committee be established in September to be made up of one principal three technical education teachers four representatives of industry two trustees one representative from the French language advisory committee and one supervisory official The mandate ofthe committees would be to review and advise on technical and business programs and to review plans for technical and business education as outlined in the original report on technical education Second look The Nipissing Board of Education decided Monday night to let its education committee have another look at the tendering specifications for its in-car driver education instruction Superintendent of schools Bob Kennedy said there would be a built-in success factor in the contract and about 50 per cent of the successfuly applicant's money would be held back until the success factor is reached Several trustees said the proposal sounded unfair and so the matter was returned to the education committee The board offered a driver education course for all students until last year when it decided to let private enterprise handle all the driver education within the schools except for the students enrolled in occupational programs New home for board? The Nipissing Board of Education will probably be looking for a new home for its twicermonthly meetings in September and its expected they will look to North Bay's council chambers Chairman of the board's property committee John Inch said he will be meeting with the property committee shortly to see if he can get the authority to approach council with the idea of sharing the council chambers will be asking council to see if we could make some modifications by way of additions for the nights that we would be using the chambers" Mr Inch said While council has only 10 aldermen the public school board has 17 trustees a director and five superintendents to find space for The board has met in the large group instruction room at Widdificld Secondary School for a number of years If the board is successful in convincing council to allow the board to make use of council chambers the board will have to change its current Monday night meetings to another weeknight Plane lands on highway
